Hi, I've tried several recommendations to enable 'rsh' for the user 'root'. I know about the pitfalls and dangers or doing same, but I must have this because of particular need for the software suites I am running. I am able to run 'rsh' just fine for all other users. It's just for 'root' that I am facing problems. I've attempted by adding 'rsh', 'rlogin', 'rexec' in /etc/securetty file, i.e. first three lines. Didn't help. I've attempted by adding the 'server_options = o' & 'server_options = -o' in the /etc/xinitd.d/rsh file. Didn't help. On running the following, # rsh <myhostname> pwd I get: Trying krb4 rsh... krb_sendauth failed: You have no tickets cached trying normal rsh (/usr/bin/rsh) Permission denied. Also, if someone is aware of how to disable the feature of rsh to attempt connection using Kerberos ? thanks & regards, Banibrata
